1 BRIGHT STAR COMMUNITY CHURCH Taking over my ministry 1 Samuel 12:20 NIV 20 "Do not be afraid," Samuel replied. "You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart. Colossians 3:23 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,

2 1 Samuel 12: The people all said to Samuel, "Pray to the LORD your God for your servants so that we will not die, for we have added to all our other sins the evil of asking for a king." 20 "Do not be afraid," Samuel replied. "You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart. 21 Do not turn away after useless idols. They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you, because they are useless.

3 22 For the sake of his great name the LORD will not reject his people, because the LORD was pleased to make you his own. 23 As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right. 24 But be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you. 25 Yet if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will be swept away."

4 Taking over my ministry TAKING OVER YOUR MINISTRY

5 One of the most important things that you can do to find your ministry is to understand who you are and that God wants to use that "who" that is you!

6 1 Samuel 12:20 KJV 20 And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart; 1 Samuel 12:20 NIV 20 "Do not be afraid," Samuel replied. "You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.

7 Colossians 3: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.

8 When the Bible says to serve the Lord with all of your heart or love the Lord with all of your heart it means all of your being...serve the Lord with all of everything you are... Your motivations. Your desires. Your dreams. Your passions. Your interests....our heart determines why we say the things we say, why we do the things we do, and why we feel the way we feel!

9 I believe that one of the keys to finding our ministry is by simply knowing our heart...knowing what makes us tick!

10 Physiologically, each of us has a different heartbeat. Some of us have a naturally slow heartbeat. Some of us have a fast heartbeat. Some of us have an irregular heartbeat. Some of us have a very unique heartbeat. And some of us wonder if our heart is really beating at all!

11 Ps 139:13-16 NLT 13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous how well I know it. 15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. 16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

12 1 Corinthians 12: There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,

13 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.

14 Start experimenting with a ministry that you have an interest in. Start desiring a ministry that you have a passion for! Start praying for a position that you can be excited about or motivated about. Then get involved in that ministry....and in the process of that I believe you will discover your gifts!

15 When you honor God with the talents He has given you, when you bless the kingdom with the abilities He has blessed you with...then you will be blessed with more!

16 It begins by having a desire to be used...and we show that desire by using what God has already given us! What has God already given us...our abilities!

17 Nothing could be farther from the truth: It is a proven fact that the average person possesses hundreds of skills. The human race is the most intelligent and able life force in the world. When we think of the animal world, we marvel at their intelligence...the honey bee is one of the most amazing creatures that God created...watch a documentary about the beaver and you will be blown away. Yet we think so little of ourselves!

18 Humankind was created in the very image of God...we are the closest beings to God that exists... I want to tell you that you have a lot of talent. You have a lot of abilities....the problem is this...we are not aware of our abilities. In fact, we are using abilities that we don't even recognize that we have.

19 So the problem is two-fold: We need some process of skill identification. We need a process of matching our ability with the right ministry!

20 Another area that will help you find your ministry is by knowing your personality!

21 God made you to be you!

22 One final way to find your ministry is by your experiences.

23 Romans 8:28 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
